John Davies

Strategy:Telemark and alpine, whatever gets it done. Gets his days in at Mount Hood Meadows and nights at Ski Bowl, but does most of his skiing on the road. Unwilling to travel with a quiver (and unable to afford one). Needs a ski that not only will allow him to ski fast and confidently regardless of the conditions, but has a design that allows him to do the things he likes to do on snow. Such as: skiing fast (and forward), dropping (and backslapping) 20-footers, straight-airing through Park Place and trying to keep up with Backcountry Bobs.
